Sherwin and Erin have been extremely helpful and patient with my family and I, supporting their analysis with in-depth case studies and market analysis. They also quickly presented the available options based on my requirements (rather than just presenting everything). Creativity and soluting are definitely key traits that they possess to help us land the perfect home/investment!
In addition, positive reviews were also received from Papa Lau and Mama Lau for their patience to explain the various features within the showroom! ➕➕➕➕
Erin & Sherwin: incredibly effective team who make the seemingly impossible happen on a frequent basis. Despite our tight schedules and a short notice, Erin and Sherwin accomodated our requests and carried out an in-depth analysis, taking into account our preferences and objectives. Erin & Sherwin cultivated a longterm relationship with us by going the extra mile and patiently answering my questions. They have cemented themselves as our trusted advisers.
Erin and Sherwin have been incredibly insightful and helpful in our entire house buying journey. We really can't recommend them enough! In fact, we are so glad and so thankful that we found them. Top-notch service, dedicated effort, perceptive comments, and going the extra mile to both understand and accommodate our needs - you name it!
Right from the start, we knew they were the right ones that we should approach because we could connect so well and they were able to very quickly design a systematic and comprehensive approach to help us acquire our dream home.
They made us feel very comfortable and secure despite it being our very first house purchase. Every step of the way, they were there to support and accompany us. Even though home purchase can be a complex space to navigate, we felt that it was so manageable and exciting thanks to their help. We learned from them what we had to look out for and could eventually make an informed choice.
Once again, I am very happy that we found them in the sea of agents. Please approach them if you want to have the same positive experience that we had 😀
Erin and Sherwin has been of great help in my first home search. On our first meeting, I was impressed with their macro research and they definitely came fully prepared to answer any questions I had. Throughout the process, they come across as very sincere and would provide balanced and well supported analysis. I could rest easy with their help. It was a pleasure working with them, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a property.
Erin and Sherwin are very friendly, approachable, and hardworking! We were really wow-ed by their meticulousness in helping us the entire way - from helping us analyze the current housing market condition, firming up what property suits our needs, accompanying us to view units, to planning and explaining the various processes and deadlines along the way - we would have been totally lost without their help; instead, we can rest easy knowing they got our backs throughout the way. 3 thumbs up from me, my wife, and baby! 👍👍👍
As a noob in property and possible investment options, it was key to find people that understood what and how to deal with that. Erin and Sherwin far exceeded expectations. They were welcoming, always patient and prompt, fully prepared for any questions and always prepped in advance with information that you don’t know you need to know. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Hauslife. Reach out to them for a chat, you never know where that might take you 🙂
*With their help, my partner and I managed to get an ideal apartment that matched our requirement and budget!

Erin and Sherwin were excellent! They provided us with comprehensive analyses of properties to consider, answered all questions that we had, were open and genuine, gave us space when we needed, and made us feel comfortable with the entire property purchase process. Will super recommend Erin and Sherwin! Great job guys!
Erin and Sherwin were such a joy to work with! They were very systematic in their approach and took to the property purchase journey like financial planning - presenting the facts clearly and taking time to understand our needs before laying out the appropriate options. They made each step of the journey very comfortable and ensured all our doubts and worries had answers to them. The level of professionalism was what made us place our trust on them over others and we would certainly work with them again if given the opportunity!
Erin and Sherwin truly stood out among all the agents I have interacted with. They are very helpful and responsive, and guided me patiently throughout the entire process. I was particularly impressed by their in-depth knowledge of the market, and their clear analysis of the developments that we considered. I felt that I was in good hands every step of the way, and I could trust them to look after my interests. I will definitely engage them again!
Sherwin and Erin were my agents in my first property purchase, and I highly recommend them. They were able to quickly put together a shortlist of options, as well as a detailed and cogent analysis based on my requirements and timeline. Their client servicing is top-notch and they're able to respond clearly with the right answers and explanations whenever I have queries. Thanks for making the lengthy and complex process of house-buying so simple and straightforward!
Sherwin and Erin have been awesome. We started off this journey not knowing what were our options. All we had in mind was, we need to invest in our first home. Initially, we were only looking at EC, as we thought there was the best investment that we could afford. But they patiently reviewed our finances and what options were available. After about 9 months, we settled for an option that was never first in our consideration but it fits all our criteria and budget. Thanks, both for entertaining our countless assumption questions, even thou we know you guys cannot predict the future!
I am soooooo thankful for Sherwin and Erin for assisting my wife and I with our first home! They meticulously calculated our budget and layout the options for us. With their expertise and analysis, they will try their very best to cater to your needs and more!
Thanks both for staying with us through thick and thin when we were choosing our future home. Like the Malay saying goes, "Baaaiiikkkkk!".

Sherwin and Erin; these two have been truly our pillar in our adventure of finding the perfect home. From walking us through our options, reviewing our finances, the transparency of pros and cons of each option explored, understanding our priorities, and finally to getting the home that fits all our checklists. Through it all, we felt so safe and so taken care of knowing these two are outstanding! We are soooooo thankful and blessed to have you both in this journey with us!
Erin and Sherwin were friendly and very knowledgeable agents. They went the extra mile to educate and balance my finances, making sure that first time buyers like myself is comfortable with the decision of owning a property in Singapore. They were also extremely prompt to responding any queries I have, over text or phone calls. Thumbs up to this duo and I look forward to many more opportunities to work with them in future.
As a first time property owner, I naturally had a lot of questions when it came to purchasing my first property. Fortunately, Erin and Sherwin were patient in answering any questions I had and even went over and beyond to guide me in ensuring I made the best decision for my budget. I also appreciated that they are not afraid of asking the necessary and hard questions to facilitate their client’s thinking in arriving at the best decision for your needs. Through working with both of them, I did not only invest in my first property but also received an education on property investment and wealth management!
Erin and Sherwin were very sincere and it was evident that they put in great effort to understand what I need. They also demonstrated good understanding of the market, very patiently and promptly answered my questions and were able to support their answers with factual market data. Most importantly, they have always acted in my best interest and have never pressurised me into making a decision.

First home buyers,
you're in the right place.

Tips to get started
We've been around the block a few times, here's our advice to get you prepped:
Get your numbers sorted
The first step to knowing what type of property to purchase is to understand your budget. How much cash and CPF have you set aside for this purchase? Have you also got an In-Principal Approval from the bank?
Rank your priorities
Location, unit size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, any specific direction and requirements? This list can be never ending for some. Rank them well to streamline your search.
What's your plan?
Understanding your objective (own stay vs. investment) is key. There will always be one objective stronger than the other. Holding period matters too. With these, we can strategise and devise a plan for you!

It really depends. House hunting can be anything from a day to years (for some). This is why it is crucial to devise a strategy before house hunting to streamline and make the process fun and efficient! We are advocates of anti-analysis-paralysis. We have seen buyers who have been finding houses for years and constantly missing out on opportunities. This is where we come in to ensure your time house-hunting is well spent!
Once you have shortlisted the property, the option period is typically 2 weeks and completion is 12 weeks. These are subject to changes based on mutual agreement between seller and buyer.
Looking to sell?
If you’re considering selling your home, or just want to get a sense of what your home would get on the market, we would love to meet.
We charge the standard market rate of 2% + GST for what have proven to work the best time after time. We don’t take less because we believe in the value of our work, neither do we charge you more for extra things that do not work.
There are no frills in our strategy– clean cut photographs, videos and virtual tours, aggressive advertising on portals, viewings pumped with details and positive energy, etc— but you’d be surprised how many agents out there don’t do these. To us, this is just the bare minimum.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers about selling
We always encourage working on an exclusive basis simply because this is the most effective way to achieve best results for you.
Working together exclusively benefits you in several ways:
1. Goal Alignment: We can dedicate 100% commitment and focus into selling your property at the best price possible, rather than aiming to be the fastest agent to sell – which may or may not be in your best interests.
2. Perceived Value: You do not risk having your home look like an urgent sale by having too many listings on property portals. Or having potential buyers contacting multiple agents trying to find someone who is willing to bring down your price the most.
3. Hassle-free Experience: You only need to be liaising with us, rather than multiple agents, for viewings.
During our exclusive period, we foster an open communication channel between clients and us, allowing for any feedback and recalibration where necessary. This has been proven to be very effective towards not just results, but also a great working relationship! 🙂
Let's talk about numbers.
Whether you’re just starting out with your first investment or looking to flip your investment properties, it is important to have a game plan in mind.

Here at HausLife, we work with investors day in and day out. We have the necessary data at our fingertips to help you make an informed decision based on your objectives and needs.
What we'll talk about
- Deconstructing real estate myths — Location, location, location. Is this really true?
- The debate between profitability of freehold vs leasehold investments
- New launches vs resale projects — does the former really give you a bigger bang for your buck?
- Insights into why some condos consistently outperform their neighbours
- Strategising an investment plan that works for you based on your profile
- Data-driven research that gives you the confidence to progress with your plans
- Using the HausLife Investment Checklist to ascertain if the entry price is right
